Brother DCP-J105 open source drivers

Are there any open source drivers to Brother DCP-J105?
The only ones I found are from Brother website. Are they open source?

When you looked at the driver page on the brother website did it not list the license for you to read before downloading?
Edit:
See also https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-dcpj105/ which may need fixing.

I didn't click on download and now I see, it appears after clicking to download. Cupswrapper is GPL.
brscan has some Eula, dunno what it is.

So I just need to make sure that the device works on Linux as good as on Windows. I have DCP-135, but usability is quite worse on Linux compared to Windows, many printing options don't work.
